Zoë Chrzan

A Gifted Lottery

Twins played outside of Juliet’s apartment building. They did not live here. Having read the lease agreement five times before signing, she knew the rules. No pets, no aquariums, no under 18 residents, and no carnivorous plants allowed. Though addendums existed for service animals; Juliet knew of none for service children. She made a note to later contemplate this as a viable treatment. Logic offered they were visiting family in the building; Juliet doubted this.
